This project has been an absolute privilege to work on. I was asked by an auntie if I could take on a project for my Oma, who loving made herself hundreds of knitted squares with hopes of making a blanket for herself. I was thrilled when I got asked to help out. Being able to work on something for my Oma, knowing that in the end she will be able to use this, that was the real treat.

Starting from scratch, figuring out what pattern to make with the squares that were created was probably my favourite part of this whole blanket. I enjoyed the endless possibilities and it really reminded my of my long-lost love of quilting.

It was so fun to be able to put this together for my Oma, in hopes that she will be able to use it this winter. I am so excited to see her reaction. There are definitely left over squares, she made a lot, so I am trying not to be too sad that this project is over. I am thinking of using up all of the squares and making many lap blankets with the sole purpose of donating them, somewhere, in my Oma's name. I think that would be a fantastic way to continue spreading the love.
